Product Description Aloha! I’m the Guava plant — known in Hawaii for my sweet, fragrant fruit and lush, evergreen foliage. My scientific name is Psidium guajava, but you probably k now me best as one of the key flavors in the legendary POG juice (Passionfruit-Orange-Guava). I’ve been growing in Hawaii since the 1800s, and I’m still one of the most beloved tropical fruit trees on the islands. As I grow, I transform into a small tree or large shrub, with fragrant white flowers and round yellow fruits filled with delicious pink flesh. My fruit is often used in jams, juices, desserts, and traditional Hawaiian treats — and I’m a magnet for butterflies and bees! Even if you’re not in the tropics, I can grow happily in a sunny spot indoors or on a patio. I’m resilient, beautiful, and bring a taste of Hawaii wherever I go.
